Solid Style Wall Panels

Solid Wall Panels for Homes and Commercial Spaces

Solid wall panels bring strength and consistency to a wide range of interiors. Their dense build makes them ideal for high-use spaces such as rental properties, offices, and commercial washrooms where walls need to handle regular cleaning without wear. At the same time, their realistic stone-effect surfaces make them just as effective in living rooms or bedrooms, where they can create a striking feature wall.

Because panels measure 1.2m wide, they cover large areas quickly, reducing the number of joins needed in both small and expansive rooms. This speeds up fitting, helps keep labour costs lower for contractors, and delivers a consistent, professional-looking surface across the wall.

Why Choose Solid Style Wall Panelling?

Traditional finishes like tiles or plaster often bring maintenance headaches. Tiles rely on grout, which discolours and cracks over time, while plastered walls can chip or require repainting. Solid wall panelling removes these problems by providing a continuous, waterproof surface that’s built to last.

The added weight of the solid core ensures each board sits firmly in place during installation, with less movement over time than lighter alternatives. The result is a wall covering that maintains its integrity, even in busy environments.

For installers, tongue-and-groove edges ensure panels slot together cleanly, making alignment straightforward while reducing waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are solid style wall panels heavier to install than standard ones?

Yes, they carry more weight due to their dense core. They’re still manageable for DIY projects, though an extra set of hands is recommended for 1.2 m panels.

How long do solid wall panels last?

With proper installation and care, solid wall panels typically last over a decade. Their dense core and scratch-resistant surface hold up in high-use areas where tiles or painted finishes often need refreshing.

Do solid style wall panels offer insulation or sound benefits?

Yes. Their added density reduces noise transfer and provides a modest level of thermal insulation, making them suitable for homes, rentals, and shared buildings.

Do I need special tools to cut wall panels?

No specialist tools are required. A fine-tooth saw or circular saw will give clean cuts, and panels can then be secured with adhesive or screws.

What accessories do I need for installation?

Trims and adhesive are recommended to achieve a neat, watertight finish. You can find trims and adhesive designed specifically for wall panels to complete the job securely.

Can solid wall panels be combined with other wall finishes?

Yes. While solid wall panels are often chosen for stone-effect coverage, some customers mix them with slat wall panels to create contrast on feature walls, or use cork wall panels in adjoining rooms for a softer, natural look.

How do I decide between solid wall panels and other options like marble or decorwall?

Solid wall panels are often chosen for their strength and wide coverage in busy rooms. If you’re looking for a decorative focus or lighter-weight solution, marble wall panels or decorwall may suit better. Ordering free samples from each range is the best way to compare before committing.
